As for why it doesn't show up in MediaInfo: maybe ask the MediaInfo devs about the requirements for it to show up. You'll likely have more luck with them.

I don't think it adds the tag correctly through the command you listed, unless I'm editing them wrong.

Had to add the UID

[AngelGraves13]

So I'm using JMKVproedit and this tags.xml I made. Made some more edits so they don't all have the same source ID

Hi AngelGraves13
For more test you can try my chapterEditor, there is a powerful Tags-Editor on board.

It seems that sometimes the tags will glitch because they don't have the duration tag (which would be different for every file and track).

If I run the tagged file through MakeMKV again it will add the durations and the tags will work correctly, but that's a lot of work and some files may have issues with cues if there's tracks from other sources synced up.

I guess if someone made a tool to detect durations and append them to the UID tracks, it would work. I guess I will ask the makers of MakeMKV how to go about doing it.

Right now, I'm using the paid program MKV Tag Editor to tag MKVs with metadata. It's a very good tool, but I often have to tag it twice for the tags to apply.

Hey y'all!

Time for another small update to MKVToolNix, v88. Still not much going on at the moment. But still… enjoy!

Here are the usual links: the MKVToolNix home page, the downloads section and the source code.

The Windows packages and macOS disk image as well as the Linux AppImage are available already. The other Linux packages are still being built and will be available over the course of the next couple of hours.

Here are the NEWS since the previous release:

Version 88.0 "All I Know" 2024-10-19
New features and enhancements

• mkvmerge, MKVToolNix GUI's chapter editor: added support for reading chapters from PotPlayer bookmark files.

Bug fixes

• configure: fixed setting "HAVE_QTDBUS" properly if the QtDbus module is found. Fixes #3744.
• mkvmerge: MP4 reader: mkvmerge will no longer warn when multiple identical FourCCs are present within the same track headers. Fixes #3748.
• mkvmerge man page: removed the wrong statement that an attachment's MIME type must be set before use of the "--attach-file" & "--attach-file-once" options. If not given, mkvmerge auto-detects the MIME type.

Have fun 😁

Thanks

This software always has an option to do whatever I need it to do.

Wanted to strip the subs and one audio track out of every episode of a BD Box Set and was lamenting the thought that I'd need to manually add the m2ts's one at a time for 366 episodes and manually select the tracks. Then I thought to look in preferences. "When adding files via drag and drop... create new multiplex settings tab for each file." Then I deselected the automatic selection of the video file, picked the language of the audio track I wanted, and now I can batch add them.
Then, "Actions for all tabs ---> start multiplexing."

Or, better, use a batch thru CLI. That allows you to process thousands of files with no problems.

Set the first file you have to process and act as you would with the GUI.

MKVToolnixGUI has an option to see the proper command line, where you have to manually replace the variables that your CLI handles.

Such as, in my case:

for %%a in (*.mkv) D:\Eseguibili\Media\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe --output ^"M:\Out\%%~na.mkv^" --language 0:ja ^"%%~na.hevc^" --no-video --language 1:ja ^"%%~na.mkv^" --track-order 0:0,1:1

[kuchikirukia]

The problem with doing anything programmatically is that unless you are VERY familiar with it, it will take you longer to write and debug than it would've taken to just do it the manual way.

Since I needed to only grab the >4GB M2TS's and they were in multiple directories, it was much simpler and faster to just put all the BD set directories into one directory, search for *.m2ts, sort by size, and then select all larger than 4GB and drag the group over. There's a search string to search by size but it would've taken me longer to look it up than it took me to just sort by size.

Thank you.

I'd like to report that I am muxing with your last revision and I get in MediaInfo for the video stream:

SEI_rbsp_stop_one_bit : Missing

What is it and how to stop adding/reporting it?
